40 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE To convert the emergency locking mode to automatic locking mode for seat belts equipped with automatic locking retractors, grasp on the shoulder belt portion of the belt and pull all of the webbing out of the retractor. By allowing some of the webbing to retract back into the retractor, you will hear a clicking sound indicating that the belt is now activated to automatic locking mode. Once it is in the automatic locking mode you will not be able to pull any more of the webbing out of the retractor, but will only be able to feed back excess webbing to secure the child restraint. To disengage the automatic locking mode, simply allow all of the webbing to retract back into the retractor which will switch the seat belt to emergency locking mode for normal use. Children Too Large For Child Seats Children who are too large for child seats and who can sit upright by themselves should use the lap/shoulder belt for best protection. • Make sure that the child is seated upright in the seat. • The lap belt should be low on the hips and as snug as possible. • Check belt fit periodically. A child's squirming or slouching can move the belt out of position. • If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck, move the child closer to the side of the vehicle. Booster seats that may help overcome this problem are also available for use with lap/shoulder belts. Before buying a booster seat, make sure that it has a label certifying that it meets applicable Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Make sure that it is satisfactory for use in this vehicle.
